About Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania  Mystery:
When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania®, they convince the entire Mystery Inc. gang to travel to WWE City in the Mystery Machine to enjoy the show. But the trip quickly turns into another mystery as WWE City is full of secrets! A mysterious ghostly bear appears and threatens to ruin the show and steal the championship title belt. With the help of WWE Superstars John Cena®, Triple H®, Sin Cara®, Brodus Clay®, AJ Lee™, The Miz®, Santino®,  and Kane® -  Scooby-Doo and The Mystery Inc. gang team up to solve the case before it is too late!

My thoughts:
We love Scooby-Doo! This movie made for a great afternoon movie! It's an hour and twenty minutes long. Just long enough to enjoy it, but short enough to keep mine and my three children's attention. The ghostly bear could be a tad scary for sensitive children. My kids were fine with it. But they've seen Scooby-Doo movies before! This movie was much more entertaining then the last few Scooby-Doo movies I've seen! Check it out!

"Born to Play" Documentary Premieres on ABC on Saturday, July 18th! #BornToPlay #WomenTackleFootball

PARK PICTURES’ BORN TO PLAY

TO HAVE NETWORK PREMIERE ON ABC

ON JULY 18, 2020

Documentary Highlights Women’s Tackle Football Team Boston Renegades

*Also available for streaming through ESPN app!

After earning rave reviews following the world premiere on ESPN, the acclaimed film that is winning audiences over will have its network premiere on ABC on Saturday, July 18th at 3pm ET. It will also be available for streaming through the ESPN app.

Directed by Viridiana Lieberman, the film is a love letter to the game, written by people who you never knew played. Until now. The film will air on later dates throughout the summer as well.





BORN TO PLAY spends a season with the Boston Renegades, a women’s tackle football team on the path to redemption after going undefeated but losing their championship the previous year. These unpaid athletes put their bodies on the line while maintaining full-time careers that support their lifelong dream... proving that football is for everyone. BORN TO PLAY shines a light on a team of remarkable women, ranging in age from 19-49, from a vast spectrum of backgrounds who dedicate their time, bodies and paychecks to pursue their passion for playing football.

“To step into this world and watch these women unapologetically create their own destiny in a sport that has yet to acknowledge them is crucial,” says Director/Producer Viridiana Lieberman. “It is my hope that this story will not only help shine a light on this team and this sport, but also add to a larger conversation of unity, agency and the power of perseverance in creating the world we want to live in.”

BORN TO PLAY marks Lieberman’s feature-length documentary directorial debut.  She previously edited the award-winning documentaries I AM EVIDENCE and THE SENTENCE, as well as LOVE THE SINNER and SPECIAL OLYMPICS: 50 YEARS OF CHANGING THE GAME. In addition, Lieberman wrote the quintessential book on women’s sports on film, "Sports Heroines on Film: A Critical Study of Cinematic Women Athletes, Coaches and Owners".

BORN TO PLAY had its world premiere on Wednesday, July 1st, and will now have its broadcast premiere on ABC on Saturday, July 18th at 3pm ET with additional rebroadcasts to follow.

BORN TO PLAY is produced by Theodora Dunlap, Sam Bisbee and Viridiana Lieberman and executive produced by Lance Acord, Jackie Kelman Bisbee, and Jon Bulette.

Known for high-quality feature and documentary films, Park Pictures produced the Emmy Award-winning feature documentary THE SENTENCE, which also took home the Audience Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and the upcoming film THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS, which premiered at Sundance in 2020. Feature films include the upcoming FAREWELL AMOR and THE LAST SHIFT, as well as previous titles HEARTS BEAT LOUD, THE HERO and ROBOT & FRANK. Over the past 9 years, Park Pictures has had 13 films featured in the Sundance Film Festival.

Today Disney+ ordered its next animated series from Lucasfilm, “Star Wars: The Bad Batch.” Fresh off of the critically-acclaimed series finale of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” the Disney+ original series will premiere on the streaming service in 2021.

Members of Bad Batch – a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army -- each possess a singular exceptional skill which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.

“Giving new and existing fans the final chapter of ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ has been our honor at Disney+, and we are overjoyed by the global response to this landmark series,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+.  “While the Clone Wars may have come to its conclusion, our partnership with the groundbreaking storytellers and artists at Lucasfilm Animation is only beginning.  We are thrilled to bring Dave Filoni’s vision to life through the next adventures of the Bad Batch.”

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” is executive produced by Dave Filoni (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”), Athena Portillo (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars Rebels”), Brad Rau (“Star Wars Rebels,” “Star Wars Resistance”) and Jennifer Corbett (“Star Wars Resistance,” “NCIS”) with Carrie Beck (“The Mandalorian,” “Star Wars Rebels”) as co-executive producer and Josh Rimes as producer (“Star Wars Resistance”).
